Democratic Opposition of Serbia
A political coalition formed in opposition of
Slobodan Milosevic. Presidential candidate
Vojislav Kostunica rallied 48% of the
vote over the September 22-24 election weekend, while current president
Slobodan Milosevic carried only 40%. Rather than declaring Kostunica the winner,
Yugoslavia’s Milosevic influenced
State Election Commission announced a run-off to be held on
October 8, 2000.
The
United States and the major
European powers have issued statements urging Milosevic to accept the
DOS victory and step down after nearly 13 years in
power.
